Let's stop bashing Uber and lyft. If they are so bad then why not fix them?
How hard can it be?
I am thinking from a perspective of where the money goes and in ubers case almost all of it goes to the top execs and marketing. But why do we even need them? Taxis don't advertise themselves and everyone knew about them. The phone apps are not too complicated to make either. Even the volume of data that they process cannot be that high so server costs are also low. The only real cost is the onetime background check per driver.
So why not create OpenUber = Ober?
Open source the code and let hundreds of developers work on it for free. Eventually there will be only a handful of folk maintaining it. Drivers need to pay say 10$ a month for server and background check costs. No surge pricing and customers are happy too. Drivers are their own employees and choose when and how long to work. Ober is essentially just a non profit yelp for drivers.

Instead of arguing on the internet with a random naysayer, go build ober.
Stop caring about things. Focus on yourself.
If you think you can start now and beat, Uber and Lyft in their own game, you're just being naive.
But nah, ain’t nobody got time for that
None of that bs of uber that’s taking the money from drivers to invest in technologies that will replace them.
Just a simple app to connect drivers to riders.
